3.2 EEPROM GUI

The ATA8510 transceiver is highly flexible and configurable. Microchip offers an EEPROM configuration GUI to allow easy and fast configuration of the device settings. Use this environment to configure radio frequency, data rate, coding, modulation, pattern and many other settings. Figure 3-1 illustrates an extract of the GUI for the ATA8510/ATA8515 transceiver product.

Once the required configuration is finalized, save the configuration into a .xml file for later reload and processing. For programming the ATA8510 transceiver, export the configuration in a .hex file for use with a Microchip programing environment, like Microchip Studio 7. Various other formats, such as .h or .hct, can be used to store initialization and configuration data within a host controller in the final application. For more details about the use of the EEPROM configuration GUI, refer to the ATA8510 Configuration Tool Guide.
